Day 31

Had another good cuddle today before Alice was extubated. This was going to happen around 3:30 this afternoon. I called the hospital around 5:30ish to see how she was doing, and her nurse said she was doing great. She was breathing with 24% O2 help (which is about the level she was requiring when she was intubated). Hopefully this is the third time lucky, and she'll not need to go back to intubation.

Her weight is going up - around 1260 grams today. Not sure if this will continue to increase with the breathing change as this breathing will require more work from Alice which means more calories will be burned up. We'll see.
